Semi-private day trip from Tirana to Struga and Ohrid, capped at 15. UNESCO sites, churches, and lake views for one long day.
“Very nicely planned trip, and the tour guide drives really well. It was a long day trip, but it was worth it.”
A long day from Tirana to Budva and Kotor with small-group pickup, church tickets, and a Sveti Stefan seaside photo stop.
“This was by far the longest tour I have ever done! Be prepared!!! The tour started at 0700 and I didn't return home until 2235. The length of your tour depends on traffic so difficult to predict and is not the fault of the driver or anyone else. Montenegro is smaller than I expected, but overall the day was pleasant and the towns visited were nice to see and experience.”
Private Ohrid day trip from Tirana with included fortress and Saint Naum admissions, scenic village stops, and a flexible guide.

Small-group day trip from Tirana to Prizren with hotel pickup, guided sights, and included mosque and fortress entries in Kosovo.
“This tour was amazing, and our tour guide Billi was the absolute best we have had in a long time. He was so knowledgeable about Albania, Kosovo, and the entire Balkan area. He was highly professional, very friendly, and easy to talk to the entire trip. Billi made sure we were comfortable the entire time, and he provided interesting information about the places we visited. I highly recommend Choose Balkans if you are in Albania looking to see any of the Balkan countries, and I especially recommend you request Billi as your tour guide. You will not be disappointed.”

“Albania has so much to offer, Skerdi brought us to see the best of everything in 4 days. The itinerary was well-curated and not too packed. We appreciated him for being flexible with the schedule. He also did not get not any commission for forcing us to visit souvenir shops like most of the tour packages. The car was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed staying at the hotels that he picked for us throughout the trip. All in all, we had a lovely time thanks to Skerdi! Strongly recommend this tour if you are looking for fuss-free holiday in Albania.”

Private Kosovo day trip from Tirana to Prishtina and Prizren, with a pro guide, big monuments, Ottoman sights, and fortress views.
“Excellent tour, well worth the money. Kevin was a knowledgeable, courteous, and friendly guide throughout. It was great to get to know him and share various travel tips and suggestions too. Booking a private tour gives you some flexibility on schedule, and asking questions of interest, so I would recommend this to other travellers. I was picked up (and returned) on time and the tour was completed as scheduled in around 11 hours, with plenty of time allotted for lunch, exploring and comfort breaks. The schedule didn't feel rushed at all and it is a scenic drive between Tirana and the Kosovan border. Kosovo was one of two remaining countries…”
